Please note that due to the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the 42nd WEDC International Conference - Equitable and Sustainable WASH Services: Future Challenges in a Rapidly Changing World will take place entirely online.

The WEDC International Conference seeks to create a safe, open and honest exchange and debate of experiences of the WASH sector within our changing environment. It supports learning and sharing, which is critical for progress towards global goals and aspirations. The open-access repository of conference contributions will also support the sharing of experiences beyond the event and into the future.
Themes include: Climate change and WASH; Rural water supply; Groundwater sources; Urban water management; Water quality, treatment and security; Disaster risk management; Sanitation systems and services; Biowaste / waste to energy / wastewater / FSM; Institutional development/ programme management; Hygiene, safety and Covid 19; Data analytics and AI;
